Microgrids with large‐scale photovoltaic systems constitute a large part of distributed renewable generation in many grids around the world. Managing the performance of such microgrids and especially their interaction with the main power grid is a challenging task, because it requires the control of renewable resources. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of DC‐DC converter structures used in microgrids and presents a new classification for converters. This paper also provides an overview of the control techniques of DC‐DC converters in DC microgrids and the advantages and disadvantages of the control methods are discussed. In connection with the increasing penetration of distributed generation sources (DGS) and renewable sources in power systems and their power management has been raised as a major concern and methods for power management have been investigated in this paper. Finally, a DC microgrid system, which includes a solar system, wind turbine, and battery, is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink software and its performance is analyzed.

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">A promising approach for defossilization in the transport sector is using the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) as an energy converter for propulsion in combination with green hydrogen. Furthermore, hybridization can bring an additional gain in efficiency. In a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrain, including FCHEV, at least two power sources (e.g., an FC system (FCS) with a hydrogen storage system and a high-voltage battery (HVB)) provide the required propulsion power. Thus, the powertrain topology and the energy management strategy (EMS) of an FCHEV are more complex than those of a conventional powertrain. To ensure a cost- and time-efficient development process, the FCHEV powertrain concept and its functions must be verified and evaluated early. To this end, this study presents the design and setup of an FC-in-the-Loop (FCiL) test platform as a tool for the systematic development of an FCHEV powertrain under realistic operating conditions. Hence, a medium size FCHEV is modeled with quasistatic sub-models of the powertrain components. The full-vehicle model is validated against measurement data of a commercially available FCHEV on a 4-wheel chassis dynamometer in a driving cycle. Based on the FCiL test methodology, the sizing of the FCS and HVB is demonstrated. It is found that for a low-load driving cycle such as the WLTC, a 110 kW FCS, and a 1.6 kWh HVB can achieve a good result regarding low hydrogen consumption. Furthermore, two different EMS schemes, the power follower strategy (PFS) and the equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS), are implemented and evaluated. With the ECMS, hydrogen consumption can be reduced by 1.6 % compared to the PFS. Moreover, the trade-off behavior between minimum hydrogen consumption and reduced dynamics of the FCS is investigated. Reducing the dynamic operation of the FCS by one-third results in an additional hydrogen consumption of only about 0.8 %.</div></div>
